Titelprent met drie straatverkopers met hun goederen bij een rots 1765

This etching, created in 1765 by Jean Baptist Leprince, depicts three street vendors in a rural setting. The print is part of a series titled "Divers Cries of Merchants of Russia," showcasing the daily life and trade practices of Russian merchants. The detailed rendering of the figures, their attire, and their goods provides a glimpse into the cultural nuances of 18th-century Russia. The scene, with its backdrop of a rocky landscape and a lush tree, suggests a sense of everyday life and bustling commerce. The inscription at the bottom of the print further suggests that this series was dedicated to the French painter and sculptor François Boucher, a testament to the artistic patronage and cultural exchange of the era.
